Monitoring and quantification of rates of geomorphic processes requires
repeated acquisition of accurate, high- resolution topographic information.
The rapid growth in the availability of Digital Elevation Models (DEMs)
such as the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission, TerraSAR-X Satellite Mission,
ICESat and CryoSat missions, photogrammetric- derived DEMs from orbital
imagery (ALOS, ASTER, SPOT) or from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and
laser altimetry/scanning (LiDAR), provide a way to look at the topography
of our planet in unprecedented detail, often allowing the recognition of
previously unknown features and the establishment of their spatial
relationships.


Digital Terrain Analysis (DTA) provides the framework for terrain
quantification classification and monitoring, aiming at the recognition and
simulation of geomorphic processes. Advances in DTA have impacted areas
such as hazard and risk assessment, geomorphologic process evaluation,
morphotectonic interpretation, and geophysical data processing.


A first instalment of this session took place during the 2013 GSA meeting.
It was well attended and involved a wide spectrum of terrain analysis
applications and data collection techniques, such as ground- based/airborne
LiDAR, SRTM, ASTER GDEM and Structure from Motion. We expect this session
to build on last year's momentum and to extend and expand DTA discussions
and networking between scientists in this rapidly- growing field.


This session will provide an excellent opportunity to present and discuss
recent advances in methods, algorithms, and applications of DTA to geology
and geomorphology.
